Pike County, County seat in eastern Missouri, US
Pike County spans 685 square miles along the Mississippi River, featuring rolling landscapes, farmlands, and the city of Bowling Green.
The county was established in December 1818, named after explorer Zebulon Pike, initially covering territories that later became parts of surrounding counties.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions, with many families operating farms that produce corn, soybeans, and raise livestock across generations.
U.S. Routes 54 and 61 intersect through Pike County, connecting residents to major metropolitan areas while Burlington Trailways provides regular bus services.
The county recorded five documented cases of racial violence between 1891 and 1914, reflecting the complex social dynamics of post-Civil War Missouri.
